[HELP] Bot Renaming

[timmybo5]

Sup, Zombie again,
was feeling bored and thought why not spice bot names up a bit, so i wrote this

function ChangeBotName( ply )
	if not ply:IsBot() then return end

		for k,v in pairs(player.GetBots()) do 
			v:SetName("Bob the Tester") 
		end

end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "ChangeBotName", ChangeBotName)

the problem is that it doesn't work, and i have no idea what could be wrong.

all help welcome, thanks in advance

SetName doesn't set the actual [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/Nick"]"Nick"[/URL] of the bot. SetName sets the entity name, which can be obtained using [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Entity/GetName"]GetName[/URL].

so what do you suggest ? this doesn't work either

function ChangeBotName( ply )
	if not ply:IsBot() then return end

		for k,v in pairs(player.GetBots()) do 
			v:Nick("Bob the Tester")
                                   --or--
			v:Nick() = "Bob the Tester"
		end

end
hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "ChangeBotName", ChangeBotName)

local meta = FindMetaTable( "Player" )

local oldn = meta.Nick
function meta:Nick()
if self:IsBot() then return "Bob the Tester" end
return oldn( self )
end

Do the same but on the client.

alright that fixed it for ULX, now "status"

You can't do it for 'Status' as that's a source engine command.
